Boundary Definition and 1000 Threads

Hi guys, so I'm stuck on quite an interesting problem, and have been for a few days now. If anybody can take the time to have a look at it that would be the most incredible thing ever, because I have reached a point where I am at a loss. Solve the following 4th order differential equation...

hi all... I have written codes for 2d fdtd tfsf with berenger's pml absorbing boundary. But I have serious leakage at front and right boundary. At the first place I think the problem is because the pml, but pml is working perfectly in the left and bottom boundary. I need an advice whether the...

So I know individually how these form. Unfortunately I haven't found any sources that describe more detailed questions that pop up in my mind. Could someone help me answer a couple of questions? 1. So if a thermal boundary layer forms in a 'plug flow' model i.e. when there is no momentum...

Hi, it is easy solving these PDEs with the idealized homogeneous BCs they throw out in class, but I am having some difficulty solving the transient problem posed in the images below. I have tried working through it, but I don't have confidence in the result. I overlook the solution when the...

Homework Statement Find the volume of an object bounded by x2 + y2 ≤ 1, x2 + z2 ≤ 1 and y2 + z2 ≤ 1. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution This stuff is very new to me (multiple integrals to find volume) so I am not entirely familiar with it. My first thought was to put...

Homework Statement Find the deflection at x=L/4 and x=L/2 for the beam Homework Equations See attached pic. The Attempt at a Solution So I have the solution derived in class. Only 0<x<L/2 is derived because since the load on the beam is at L/2, the equation is valid for the...

I'm working on a student design project building a multirotor UAV to host a sensor array. The airframe supports arm beams with motors producing thrust at the end, a battery, a flight controller, payload, ESC's and needs to be custom made so that it is of a size that can support large blades and...

Hello, I am looking to solve the 3D equation in spherical coordinates \nabla \cdot \vec{J} = 0 using the Ohm's law \vec{J} = \sigma \cdot (\vec{E} + \vec{U} \times \vec{B}) where \sigma is a given 3x3 nonsymmetric conductivity matrix and U,B are given vector fields. I desire the...

This is part of a solution to find the average of power consumption. In the solution, the boundary taken is from -T/2 to T/2. Can we integrate from 0 to T instead?

Hi, I have to use a wide 5 point stencil to solve a problem to fourth order accuracy. In particular, the one I'm using is: u'' = -f(x + 2h) + 16f(x + h) - 30f(x) + 16f(x - h) - f(x - 2h) / 12h2 or when discretized u'' = -Uj-2 + 16Uj-1 -30Uj + 16Uj+1 -Uj+2 / 12h2 In addition to...

I'm trying to implement a numerical code for the diffusion equation with moving boundaries. I have no problems with the numerical implementation, but with the transformation of coordinates. In spherical coordinates, the diffusion equation is \frac{\partial c}{\partial t} = D...

Hi, I'm trying to show that if ## M^n ## is orientable and connected, with boundary (say with just one boundary component), then its top homology is zero. Sorry, I have not done much differential topology/geometry in a while. I'm trying to avoid using Mayer-Vietoris, by using this argument...

Hello! I have a nifty set of problems (or rather one problem, gradually building itself to be a great problem) that I like to collectively call "The final problem" as it is the last thing I need before I can take the exam in Numerical Methods.Information There is given a Laplace equation...

In Griffith's section about electrostatic boundary conditions, he says that given a surface with charge density \sigma , and take a wafer-thin Gaussian pillbox extending over the top and bottom of the surface, Gauss's law states that: \oint_{S} \mathbf{E} \cdot d \mathbf{a} =...

hi all, i have wrote codes for 2d fdtd in different permittivity (epsilon). in this code, cell size is 200 x 200, start with eps=1 from center, and different permittivity started at boundary (i1,i2) = (25,75) = (j1,j2), epsilon = 2. the problem is, when the wave propagates and approach...

Hi, please could someone help clarify the reason why a mechanical wave is inverted at a boundary as I'm really stuck! Some sources I have read seem to suggest it can be explained by Newton's 3rd law whilst others suggest its to do with conservation of momentum. Newton's 3rd law - consider...

Can anyone explain me why the thermal boundary layer develops faster for viscous fluids? I would just say it would develop more slowly because due to high viscosities there are low reynoldsnumbers and thus less turbulence or mixing. This causes a slow homogenization of temperature (assume a...

In linearized gravity we can one sets $$(1) \ \ g_{\mu \nu} = \eta_{\mu \nu} + h_{\mu \nu}$$ where h is taken to be a small perturbation about the flat space metric. One common decomposition of h is to write the spatial part as $$ h_{i j} = 2 s_{ij} - 2\psi \delta_{ij} \ h_{0i} \equiv...

Usually, when considering the biharmonic equation (given by Δ^2u=f, we look for weak solutions in H^2_0(U), which should obviously have Neumann boundary conditions (u=0 and \bigtriangledown u\cdot\nu =0 where \nu is normal to U). Now consider that we are looking for solutions u\in...

My first analysis/topology text defined the boundary of a set S as the set of all points whose neighborhoods had some point in the set S and some point outside the set S. It also defined the closure of a set S the union of S and its boundary. Using this, we can prove that the closure of S is...

In the textbook I am working with, an isolated point of A is defined to be a point X in A such that there exists a neighborhood (open ε-ball) centered on X containing no point in A other than X itself. A boundary point of A (which need not be in A) is defined as a point X in A such that...

So when we calculate divergence (especially referring to the gauss divergence theorem), why aren't the components of the vector field parallel to the boundary considered? I mean even of, say fluid, is traveling parallel to the boundary when it comes out, fluid is exiting, or diverging out...
